"Hmm, where is it?" Xue Hongyi looked in the direction of the disciple's finger, and sure enough, he saw a person from the Heavenly Star Sect.

Ye Changqing and the others also followed the disciple's guidance and looked over, and then they all saw it. However, they found that the man's condition did not seem to be good, because the man was lying on the ground.

Since they didn't know if there would be an emergency, everyone didn't rush towards that person immediately, but took out the Xuan Bing and guarded carefully.

After making sure that the surroundings were safe, Xue Hongyi gave an order and told everyone to wait in place. Then he gestured to Ye Changqing beside him, and the two walked towards the person lying on the ground.

Lying on the ground was a young man dressed in the costume of the Heavenly Star Sect, but when Ye Changqing and Xue Hongyi came to this man's side, they found that he had already died.

Seeing this, the two stepped forward to check.

The deceased had only one wound on his body, and it was fatal, in the neck. The wound was very deep, and there was only a trace of flesh attached to the entire neck.

The deceased held a long sword in his hand, the blade of which was stained with blood, but it had dried and turned black. The deceased's storage bag was not on the deceased's body, perhaps it was not there in the first place, or it was taken away by someone else.

The two of them examined the body carefully, and then carefully looked around. After a while, Xue Hongyi asked Ye Changqing, "Brother Ye, what do you think?"

Ye Changqing knelt down on one knee and looked at the wound on the deceased's neck, and then looked at the long sword held in the deceased's hand, and then he said in a deep voice: "It's suicide." The time of death was no more than seven hours, and he should have committed suicide last night. After speaking, he stood up and turned to greet Su Yan and Gu Liancheng.

The two heard Ye Changqing's greeting, so they walked over. Ye Changqing stretched out his hand and gestured to the two of them, "Look at who is lying on the ground?"

"Huh?" Hearing this, the two looked at the dead man on the ground, and then the two of them shouted at the same time, "It's Yang Zhen!" Yang Zhen is the disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect who brought Ye Changqing and Su Yan to the valley that day. It was also he who took the two of them to Xiyunju and accompanied the two of them around the mountain for a long time.

"What's going on?" Su Yan asked as he looked at Ye Changqing. It's good to have a few faces, and it's an acquaintance.

"He committed suicide. Ye Changqing said: "But I suspect that he was killed by suicide, and the evidence is the long sword he holds in his hand." ”

Ye Changqing said: "If that long sword is his Xuan soldier, then he is what I said, and he was killed by suicide." ”

"Suicide?" Including Xue Hongyi, the three of them wondered: "What do you mean?"

"Is that literal?" Ye Changqing said: "Although he committed suicide, he did not commit suicide voluntarily. Look at his Xuan Bing, have you noticed anything wrong?" As he spoke, Ye Changqing pointed to the long sword Yang Zhen was holding in his hand and asked the three of them.

"Xuan Bing?" Because of Ye Changqing's prompt, the three of them carefully observed Yang Zhen's long sword on the ground.

"Hmm, what about the machine spirit?!" After the three of them checked the long sword, they immediately found something wrong: "How can there be no weapon spirit on Yang Zhen's Xuan Bing?" Ordinary weapons, on the other hand, do not have a machine spirit. This is the biggest difference between Xuan Bing and ordinary weapons.

"Look at the wound on his neck. Ye Changqing did not immediately answer the questions of the three people, but pointed to the wound on Yang Zhen's neck and said: "If a monk like Yang Zhen can be killed, how can the murderer not be an ordinary person, right?" But you can see that the wound on his neck is not neat, it is not directly sealed with a sword, but after cutting back and forth many times, this caused such a wound to come out. If it was a Xuanmen who was also a monk and killed him, then the cutting technique would never have been so rough. ”

Ye Changqing said: "Let's take a look at Yang Zhenxuanbing's sword blade, does it match the incision on his neck?" Also, if Yang Zhen can't think of committing suicide, then with his strength, he doesn't have to cut back and forth a lot by drawing his sword to kill himself, just one bit, why bother?"

Ye Changqing said again: "Then let's talk about how the weapon spirit on his Xuan Bing disappeared." ...... There are two things I can think of: one is that it dissipated on its own, and the other is that it was defeated by others and then dissipated, but there is no trace of artificial damage on Yang Zhen's Xuanbing. Therefore, it can be concluded that the spirit on the Xuan Bing dissipated on its own. ”

Ye Changqing continued: "Then why did the Xuanbing's machine spirit dissipate on its own? There is only one answer I can think of, that is, the machine spirit personally killed its master, so it will dissipate on its own. ”

Ye Changqing continued: "If we follow what I said above, then we can analyze it like this: if it is a killing, then the wound will not be so untidy, but if it is a suicide, then I can't think of why not just solve it with a sword, instead of cutting back and forth a few times to increase the pain?"

Ye Changqing continued: "Then combined with the disappearance of the instrument spirit, then the scene I can think of is: Yang Zhen was very reluctant to be controlled to pick up his Xuan Bing, and then in the struggle, put the Xuan Bing on his neck, and then cut back and forth a few times, and then he fell down in great pain, and his Xuan Bing also dissipated on its own because of the killing of the master." ”

Ye Changqing finally concluded: "Whether it is the wound on his neck or the Xuan Soldier who has disappeared in his hand, it is in line with what I said. That's why I think that Yang really committed suicide passively. ...... Of course, this is just a reasonable conjecture I made based on what I have seen and combined with the evidence at the scene, and it is not necessarily the truth, and the real situation may not be the case. Only by finding the culprit can we truly understand what the truth of the matter is. ”

......After the three of them quietly listened to Ye Changqing's reasoning, they all digested it for a while, and then someone said up: "Then what are we going to ...... next?" It was Xue Hongyi who spoke. What he meant was that he could go directly to the top of the mountain and go to the main hall to find out.

"There's no hurry. Ye Changqing waved his hand, and then he looked at Gu Liancheng and said, "Brother Gu, among the people present, you should be the most familiar with the corpse, and please take a closer look at Yang Zhen's body." Pay attention, focusing on checking his brain. "Gu Liancheng is a corpse cultivator, and among the people present, there is indeed no one who is more familiar with corpses than him.

"Okay, no problem. "There is a specialization in the art industry. Gu Liancheng waved his hand and did not shirk.
